Charleston, Y'all






We got into Charleston around dinner time. We walked around the historic district which included the open city market, the French Quarter and a walk out the dock to view Fort Sumter. Charleston is a very beautiful city with old preserved colonial homes and multiple galleries, restaurants and performing venues. The Spanish moss hangs here and the weather is mild. The French Quarter homes remind me of Savannah with their courtyards, iron gates and architecture. The open market here is filled with local artisans and their wares as well as a lot of the typically imported junk. I bought a scala hat for Miami and Key West. We had dinner at The High Cotton, pure southern food and atmosphere.
